Not a chapter but bare with me!! I promise there's a surprise at the end ;)
I'm usually against A/N's in place of a chapter but I consider this to be an exception because it's kind of important. One of the things that really draws me to wattpad (apart from all the awesome stories) is that I can interact with others who like to read and write and generally have some crazy imaginations! I love how you can easily talk to authors who are so talented and that vice versa as a humble author myself of some modest stories, I can talk to you guys and hear your ideas and opinions as my stories develop.
I know I'm not a perfect writer but I like to write my stories and I love hearing from you guys, it honestly is the highlight of my day hearing from you all. I would never consider becoming a serious author who publishes for several reasons but a main one is that I treasure you all way too much to give that up! You have no idea how much relief you all give me from the real world, how much you inspire me and give me new ideas and I even love the constructive criticism!
So I was thinking; how else can I get to know you guys? And you know me a little more? Or how can I show you more of what inspires my stories/characters? Or even have my characters show you more of their complex personalities?
And then it hit me! Something that makes wattpad so unique to me is the social netowork side of the site! Which led me to thinking, what if I created an instagram account with my wattpad username?! So that we can follow each other and I'll upload pictures that inspire me for my different stories/characters (I promise there will be no selfies unless by popular demand ;) haha). But what's most exciting for me is that you can do the same! We'll create tags so that if you see something that reminds you of a character of mine you can tag it and show me or just take photo's of you and your stories or things that inspire you as a author. I would love to get a glimpse into your world (in a non-creepy way I swear)
I was also thinking of getting an ask.fm page so that you could ask me questions or even ask my characters questions. Which I think will be so fun because I think it would bring them even more to life. But I'm more hesitant about that because it seems a little unnecessary considering I have a message board here on wattpad that you can post questions to. Be assured that if you asked my characters a question, they would be answering in real time (with their feelings/beliefs etc from the most recent chapter). But again I'm way more hesitant about the ask.fm page.
Anyway let me know what you think in the comments, especially my beloved silent readers, I would really appreciate if you broke your silent habits this one time to give me your opinion :D
I think that this idea will be emphasizing the social aspect of wattpad and will quickly catch on with heaps of authors! I personally would love to see wattpad related pictures from SherriffSquinty, OrangeChicken, apathetic_remorse, SmilingCherries, xxdemolitionloverxx and malin87 just to name a few haha but most importantly; from you guys!!
On a future note, I'm also working on collaborating with a few youtubers so that I can have a youtube channel so that I can have some of my friends who study performing arts to act out scenes from the book and I also need someone to cover songs for a story I'm currently writing that I won't upload for a little while yet! But again that's a bit further into the future, lets see how this instagram thing works to begin with
Alright before you write your thoughts, here's a little treat for reading all of this. <3
LAFS:
LB (lovebug) - Just relax, you just have to talk, like you do all the time and I'll write it up for you
*All fidget nervously*
Charlie - So...it'll be like every other instagram account? We'll just take photo's and stuff *cheeks stained pink*
*LB resists the urge to 'aw'*
LB - Yeah, this might surprise you but there are quite a lot of people out there who would love to see pictures of what it's like to live with Eden.
Charlie - That doesn't sound too hard, I wouldn't mind posting a few pictures so everyone knows how patient I really am with her. *smirks at Eden who glares in return*
Eden - And I'm sure everyone would love to see how much you really do resemble a neanderthal *Eden snaps back*
Sonny - I wouldn't mind sharing with the readers some photo's from school and training. But that sounds kind of boring
LB - Trust me if you're in the photo's they'll be anything but boring. I'm almost certain that the female readers will really appreciate your training photo's...for fitness reasons I mean
*Shares a knowing look with Eden*
Eliza - I'll be sure to post pictures of the fantastic events and parties I attend *snottily*
Eden - Who even said you could post photos?! In fact who even invited you to this meeting?! *Grumpily*
Eliza - LB said this instagram account was for all the people who feature in her stories but specifically a main like myself *haughty*
Eden - The main antagonist you mean *Mutters under her breathe*
Charlie - As long as the readers are prepared to watch Eden pick fights with everyone we should be fine * teasingly*
Eden - Oh you're so funny *sarcastically*
